Why what you get from Google is not always the whole story. We come to expect so much from Google that we forget how much there is that it doesn't track. But like the author, I'm amazed to see so many people who "don't exist" on the web.

Google Buzz Index: Big PMPin'

Google Buzz Index: Big PMPin' 06/28/2004 06:31 PM

So this week's Google Buzz Index might not be as interesting to everyone else as is it is to me, since I'm writing about Personal Such-and-such Players all week long, but it's something I really had wondered about, especially with the influx of new media players coming out of Asia. I really didn't expect "personal video player" to take such a huge lead, but there's no mistaking it -- that's the term most used to describe these devices. I'm a little disappointed, too; I'd much rather use 'Personal/Portable Media Player' as it is a more accurate description of what these devices can do. Once we ever get around to changing our categories, my guess is that PortableMedia will still be what we go with over PersonalVideo, numbers be damned.

Google Buzz Index: Next Gen Portable
Game Systems, Possible Xbox 2 Names 06/15/2004 06:14 PM

More loose science Google mining today, starting with a sampling of the five major next generation portable gaming systems. I'm a little surprised -- the Nintendo DS comes out on top, even over the Sony PSP. My guess is science is failing us here, as another query for "playstation portable" pulls up another 666,000 hits (oooweeoooh), which added to the to the "sony psp" results brings us up to 1,425,000, or about 200k over Nintendo. My guess is it's somewhere in between those numbers and it's fair to say the Nintendo DS and the PSP are, buzz-wise, in a dead heat. The Nokia N-Gage QD makes a sizeable showing, which is pretty respectable until you run just "n-gage," which nets a response of over 4 million. Since we're trying to compare next generation unreleased and just-released hardware, though, I left those results out. The Gizm(welovepigs)ondo is just a blip on the radar, in part because of the recent name change, and in part because it is doomed to failure. The Tapwave Zodiac does fare any better, which is a bit disappointing. Time to rally the troops, Tapwave.

The next Google Buzz Index, where we see which of the possible names for the second iteration of Microsoft's Xbox have the highest buzz, is after the jump.

So I thought I'd try to get all sciencey on you, here, and did some informal Google mining to see what people are talking about. I made these first two graphs in Excel all by myself!

The first is a comparison of keyboarded messaging tools: the Treo 600, the RIM Blackberry (all models), and the upcoming Motorola MPx (for spice). The listing on the left (horizontal, not the vertical label) is my Google search string, just so you can check the search terms yourself if you want. As I said, this isn't an exact science, but I tried my best to weed out false positives. The Treo wins the buzz index this round, but the MPx has a strong start for something that won't even be out until the fall.

Gaga for Pages

Gaga for Pages 03/22/2005 07:31 PM
“After first being blasé about Pages, I am now gaga over it,” writes Mike Wendland for the Detroit Free Press. “The more I use it, the more blown away I am by its elegance. Alas, it only works with Apple computers, but with all the people who have been switching to the Mac platform recently, we need to talk about it...It’s clean, crisp, very flexible and so easy to use you don’t even need to read the instructions. Style is what sets Pages apart.” [Mar 22, 2005]

Buzz on Voice over Wi-Fi Grows

Buzz on Voice over Wi-Fi Grows 05/09/2004 03:46 PM
Signs are pointing towards widespread ability to make Voice over IP (VoIP) over Wi-Fi calls: But will revenue follow? Many of the uses of voice over Wi-Fi reduce costs or shift usage; one firm puts revenue in 2009 for long-distance Wi-Fi voice calling at just $20 million, according to the article. But cell phones with Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi phones aimed at the home market could drive more rapid adoption. Imagine a single phone that you carried everywhere, but with higher quality and lower cost than a cell phone whether in your house or deep in a convention center. The main problem with a roaming Wi-Fi phone is authentication on networks that require accepting terms at a gateway page, logging in, or paying for use. These are not insurmountable problems....
